Course summary

Mixed

EASC1402 is considered an accessible introductory course for those without geology background, with interesting lectures and a manageable workload. However, it requires significant preparation for the final exam and field trip. It's good for students looking to explore geology or fulfill free elective requirements.

Grading

Grading is not overly generous but can be challenging due to the weight of the final exam. Some students find it easy to score high on coursework, while others struggle with memorization.

Workload

The workload is moderate, with lab assignments every two weeks and a group project. Lectures are beginner-friendly, but post-lecture review is recommended for better retention.

Assessments

Assessment includes regular lab assignments, a field trip report, a group project, and a final exam that heavily relies on memorization of material from lectures and tutorials.

Teaching

The teaching quality is generally positive with all three professors described as engaging. However, some students found the content challenging without prior knowledge.

Tips

Clarify concepts after each lecture to avoid cramming during exam week; form a study group for better understanding of material and support during the project.
